Assessing Historical Fish Community Composition Using Surveys, Historical Collection Data, and Species Distribution Models
Accurate establishment of baseline conditions is critical to successful management and habitat restoration. We demonstrate the ability to robustly estimate historical fish community composition and assess the current status of the urbanized Barton Creek watershed in central Texas, U.S.A. Fish species were surveyed in 2008 and the resulting data compared to three sources of fish occurrence infor...
متن کاملAssessing anthropogenic impact on boreal lakes with historical fish species distribution data and hydrogeochemical modeling
Quantifying the effects of human activity on the natural environment is dependent on credible estimates of reference conditions to define the state of the environment before the onset of adverse human impacts. In Europe, emission controls that aimed at restoring ecological status were based on hindcasts from process-based models or paleolimnological reconstructions. For instance, 1860 is used i...

متن کاملHistorical Species Distribution Models Predict Species Limits in Western Plethodon Salamanders.
Allopatry is commonly used to predict boundaries in species delimitation investigations under the assumption that currently allopatric distributions are indicative of reproductive isolation; however, species ranges are known to change over time. Incorporating a temporal perspective of geographic distributions should improve species delimitation; to explore this, we investigate three species of ...
متن کاملOptimizing Cyst Mapping Surveys through Statistical Analysis of Historical Data
Introduction. An important management tool for red tides or toxic Alexandrium blooms in the Gulf of Maine region is a numerical model of bloom dynamics developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Each week during the bloom season, this model is run, providing a “hindcast” simulation of Alexandrium distribution and abundance for the preceding weeks and months, as well as a one-...
